Super Anxious about NCLEX

Published

Hello:

My name is yadira. I am just writing/seeking support or advice. In July 23d I take the NCLEX RN. I graduated from Puerto Rico. I am just very worried and anxious and wanted a few tips from people who already took the NCLEX or are about to.I already been studying/ doing questions etc. I feel like is a lot of content which doesn't bother me that much but I don't want to cram either in the short amount of time. Also I would like to know what topics are a must know. I know that everybody gets tested differently but im just looking for advice and tips. Knowing that the test is in a few weeks got me really anxious and worried I really need to pass this test for myself and for my child, and maybe that's whats getting me a little bit scared knowing that this test depends everything else. I would really appreciate recommendations. Thanks everybody!!

It's impossible to know everything so just make sure the questions you're doing are related to types of content listed on ncsbn. I found UWorld to be most like the actual NCLEX test as far as questions go.

Once you take the actual test, just relax and focus. Don't spend too much time on questions you don't know. They don't expect you to get them all right. They just wanna make sure you're competent so keep going until the computer says you're done. Take breaks if you need to.

Thank you very much for the tip. I will go now and check Uworld website. I am doing kaplan but for some reason I think they are more difficult than other questions ive done. But its been helpful so far. I am definitely checking uworld thank you so much!

I tried kaplan also, but i felt more comfortable with UWorld. It's not that kaplan wasn't helpful it's just that Uworld is more realistic to the actual test. The style of questions, the exhibits, the ordered response. The whole layout of the page is almost exactly like the real NCLEX and the rationales/explanations are the best i've seen from any Qbank

So yeah i wouldn't say to stop doing kaplan, i'd say to add Uworld

Thank you so much! I was doing the qbank trial for Uworld and i really like it! Im going to add this one most definitely. I like the rationales. God bless! Thanks for the advice.
